Honestly I'd say with that kind of budget and the kind chaps on this site, you could make yourself a bike for a great spec. There's something about building a bike yourself and making it exactly how you want it. I've had a few new bikes and generally within a month I'm pulling components off and swapping things anyway, so why not do it from scratch?

I agree whole heartedly with you - but it's not for me, it for a mate who doesn't know one end of a spanner from the other.

I'm not sure you even need to ditch the frame to be honest, it looks a pretty decent alu frame, certainly lighter than most others at that price point. It depends on whether you want to spend youre cash on the bike or the name i think.
